I'm naturally a big-dreaming kind of person, and yes, I have big dreams for the future, but it's the small steps, the daily choices to stick at what you're doing and keep a right heart that mold you into the person who God can give greater responsibility to. Our pastor preached this just yesterday, from the story of Joseph, and it really resonated in my spirit.

I never thought I would live in the western half of the US. I am a southern girl. But God has me here. There is a time and a season for everything. What's happening with your Bible study?

I tend to host pity parties often and just the other day I decided to be done with that and just embrace where I'm at. This really makes me think about things differently.

I also sometimes feel like escaping-- sending my kids off or driving away into the sunset would be fun-- but knowing that this is where God called me to be makes it feel more tolerable.
